JACK-OFF-LANTERNS!!!!!!!

How scary is this Halloweenie seeming to be? It is apparent that all these very spooky things have been happening & it's just an unperfct time for it. HAPPY HALLOWEENIE! I have to mention the scariest thing that is haunting me lately....the Killers are playing Madison Square Garden???????????? Are you kidding me? Are they that big? I don't think so. Too scary.

This will probably go down as the sickest Halloween in history. All because of the new records that are supposedly coming out & also the dumb antics of idiot classic rockers.....
Why anyone cares about it is beyond me:
1. Guns'N'Roses is coming back, we don't even know who's in it anymore but someone still cares. Even though Axl really looks like he's actually wearing a mask of himself. Funny side scary note: Buckethead, their supposed 'new' guitarist has been playing solo shows till Axl decides to get up off his ass & do something......
.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Led Zep has decided to pull a Yes/Journey deal & get someone else to sing for them since they're sick of waiting around for Robert Plant to say yes. He said no, they said screw him. You have to admire their zeal for them to think that there are fans who will actually go see the 2 boys that are left in that band aside from Baby Jason, which is fine, but you wonder.....will they be calling David Coverdale again???? Better someone known than unknown....... ..???????? So what is the point??? Well they won't be playing MSG......

3. It's the 25 Anniversary of Thriller...big deal. I still think of poor Vincent Price, who'll only be known now because of that record. 25 means its the anniversary of 90125 by Yes, & Vacation by the Go-Go-s. Now that's something!

4. Amy Winehouse is still alive.....amazing.

There have been more important things going on. I was having a conversation recently about 'fake albums'. CDs now, but when albums were out there was our share. Fake albums are just ridiculous compilation albums that have all the hits of a band you already have along with a bunch of other songs you don't care about & it's put out by a label that thinks they're bigger than Warner Bros. but who don't even have the decency to spend money on simple packaging let alone the print it's done on. IF ANYTHING THEIR BAD OFFICIAL BOOTLEGS!!!

In the 70s, there was K-Tel who actually came out with some decent compilations back then were amazingly fun. They had whopper covers & were way cheaper than what is available now. Casablanca & Krofft Records were probably the worst companies to release your records on back then. Who knew if the artists recieved any money for their sales. Now there is 'Essential', 'Millennium Collection' & the worst of all 'NOW'. It would be a miracle if the artists knew that these records were out with their music & recieve some compensation, but the fact that all of these compliations have the same design on all of them & the cheapest inserts in them is just low, that I could be making these at home on my computer.

With the exception of the band's picture being different which each band. The Essential series have the black & white cover which should be classic art but just isn't in this case. Just bad awful cheap art. Same story we all know in it & maybe some extra tracks to make you spend money on this crap some of which are actually double cds. A joke for sure. Nonsense.

The Millennium Collection comps are a teeny bit colorful but otherwise the same, except have less songs & less information. Ridiculous. They're cheap but that isn't even worth 2 cents let alone 5 bucks. Then there are these Extended Versions collections which just make me think that these labels that are putting this junk out there actually think we're stupid. Not a spec of info. The songs are supposedly the longer versions of songs we love, which involve either a live version or the long regular version that is already on the album we'd bought last year. Hello? How dumb do you think we are? You're lucky if you find these pieces of crap for 5 dollars. Incredible.

Let us not forget the 'Greatest Album In The World Ever Made' ones, which frankly I'm sick of. They're not so bad, but they consist of the Greatest 'insert here your favorite genres' of music & it's supposed to best the Best Thing Ever & they're 20,000 of them. You wonder what's flooding our landfills? This crap!!!

Now! I don't know how else to describe probably the All-Time Worst Compilation Records in the History of All Music Anywhere in the Entire World!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! People are buying this in droves because????????? a. they don't want to download, b. they don't want to spend $10 grand on the albums they originally came out of, c. they were forced!!!! SICK! The 'NOW' compilations have put shame & absolute embarrassment to the music industry for all time. Should the artists get any royalties is fine but the music isn't even worth the 20 dollars this seems to cost now. Yet it selling like crazy. It's pathetic. This is what everyone has resorted to purchasing to find any form of decent music that's left. Too bad they're not going to find it on there. Congrats to NOW for just being the worst combo ever. The music isn't as annoying as the art
on their covers which displays without any sorrow the giant colorful NOW letters in massive bold print.

The only decent form of compilations that are being released by a decent label that actually cares what it puts out is good old Rhino Records. It shouldn't even be included in this list. But if you want to know about any good band or any good music then get anything on Rhino. Thank GOd there's still something good left in this world.

Who knew art could be this bad. But this is the scariest time music has seen as of late. Hopefully this will all disappear soon & will go back to a normal way of beying cool records. The best thing: Vinyl is back. Very cool....but the Killers are still playing MSG, yuk!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!!!
LUV, ROZZZZZZZZZZ

WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE........

It's a strange September & already I know it'll be a weird October. Why? October is usually World Series time, Baseball! For New Yorkers, it's the Yankees or nothing. This time, nothing, not even the Mets. Why is it a bad September? Everything that meant anything in NY was lost. PINK FLOYD & YANKEE STADIUM. Do the 2 go hand in hand? Does it make sense? Yes. [Don't get me started on Yes!]

How is it that a city could lose 2 of the most beautiful stadiums in the world in one shot? Ok they are baseball stadiums. Apparently only football stadiums seem to be concert-friendly, since some dumb owners don't seem to trust our music with their lawns.[???????????????-well, if they put good music on their lawns they'd be able to trust us!]. The fact that not only Yankee Stadium is being destroyed but Shea Stadium as well is just demeaning. Both baseball fields, both on the opposite sides of the heart of NY, one in the Bronx [Yankee] & the other in Queens [Shea]. Two places no one would be caught dead in if it weren't for their landmarks.

I can't talk about Shea Stadium since I've never been there which is sad. I've sat on the outside & looked in, but I know how important it is or was to this city. Especially since the new one being built looks like a pile of dead bricks [if it's possible for bricks to be dead, they'd look like the new Shea, which isn't going to be even called Shea but after a crappy bank that may lose all it's money, poor Shea.!] You have to feel sorry for Shea, even if you weren't a Met fan. The fact is Shea is younger born in 1961. A kid! Yet bigger, wow than Yankee Stadium? No way? Way! ! Only 47 years old? They couldn't give it another 3 years to at least hit 50? Is it so torn up, it couldn't wait? Couldn't find some building Botox? [if there is such a thing, Yankee Stadium would never have taken it, it was too strong!] In truth it was only 44 since for 2 years it actually turned into the Yankees when their own stadium was under construction & they came to Shea for 2 years from 1974-1976. Ok, the Beatles played there. Billy Joel played there, they had more concerts than the Yanks ever did. So why destroy it? This one I'll blame on age discrimination & the money-grubbing banks who seem to be buying everything now instead of saving their money like their supposed to [is this a joke?] & we're wondering what's wrong with our economy? While the new one won't even begin to have a history since it won't be taking it's old name, it's a shame that the history of this particular place had not yet begun but did leave a special place in some NY hearts.

Now Yankee Stadium is a different story. It's tinier. But way older! 1923! 85 years old [83 if you wanna get technical because of their dumb refurbishing at Shea!] So this one couldn't be given another 15 years of life to hit 100. No Botox here! We could've taken it! Who cares? We gotta take it out now! Why? Babe Ruth built it. He didn't build it himself , they built it for him, so everyone could come see him. When the old older stadium was up it had a different structure, which is actually back at the newly semi-finished Yank stadium, which is opening next year. Yet when it was rebuilt in 1974, they change the outer structure completely but it was still the same place. You could say we had a giant face-lift, like the Statue of Liberty did [yet she's still looks crazy!] So it has a huge history, of prize fights, football, [which is hysterical to ever think that football was ever played here], sermons & concerts [same thing!].

A place I used to come with my uncle all the time to. He took me to my first game, where else could we go to see a game [Shea was too far so we can't go there, we were Yanks anyway], right next to my house. Yes, I've lived by this beautiful place & watched it slowly fade away from me & it's devastating. I lost my uncle in 2001 & I feel like he wants Yankee Stadium. So he's going to take it. That's ok. He seems to be giving us the old one back, maybe he wanted me to see what the old one looked like. It'll be tinier & more expensive since the money grubbers are taking over this one too for no good reason, but it won't be the same. I'll let you know David.....

Now what does this have to do with Pink Floyd? Richard Wright, Ricky to some. Keyboardist & basically the heart of the band. It was Syd Barrett & Rick who did all the vocals in this band before anyone else did!!! THEY WERE PINK FLOYD! As long as one or the other was in that band, it was Pink Floyd. It was Rick when Roger Waters left who sang all of Roger's parts & it was still ok. Because it was Rick. Ricky passed away this month, a couple of weeks before Yankee Stadium did. When I would go to see the Yanks I'd never been on the field. Till one day. Pink Floyd decided to come to the Bronx. What?? Are you kidding?? Pink Floyd in the Bronx? I dare them to get past the Deegan. [I would've had my uncle clear it for them, not only was he a very dangerous driver, but he was a gravedigger, he knew what to do with a body & he would've done it for me, he couldn't have cared less about Pink Floyd!] They made it.

In 1994 when everything sucked & the 90s were worming its sorry music onto this world Pink Floyd saved Yankee Stadium. I went to get tickets for the first night. First day of sale. Awesome. My friends were going to go with me [my girl D, see 'A Day In the Life...]. Cool. We get there, we hang, we see Debbie Harry walking in the back of the Stadium, cool, she likes Pink Floyd, awesome! We're in the Loge section. Cool. We sit, we can't see a damn thing. It's completely obstructed. Why? Their staging was insane. The seats were behind their screens & lights. How is this possible? A lady comes to us & asks if we like our seats? No! She laughs, it's ok, the box office made a mistake, follow this person & we'll show you to your seats. So we proceed to go down, down, the walk which took forever, seemed long [if you know any stadium you know this], we wind up outside. Wait we're outside? What's going on? Your seats are there. She point to the inside of Yankee Stadium on the field. I almost died! AAHH!!!! No way! it was so beautiful it was insane. Here I am in the field of Yankee Stadium seeing not a baseball game, not a show, but PINK FLOYD!! My Ricky. He was the one for me. My favorite & he was right there in front of me. He was the cute one. He still was & I got to see him in Yankee Stadium. Saw him twice, since I went the next day as I found friends who were working the show! Seeing him singing 'Wearing The Inside Out' & 'Astronomy Domine' was nothing short of mesmerising. Who knew you could have a sight like that in the Bronx? Now I lost both? Impossible. Ricky was Pink & now he's gone forever & I'm going to miss him & his beautiful voice.

Yankee Stadium is gone because there will never be another place like it, even though the new one is right next to it & it's actually just as beautiful & the construction going into it is actually caring about the history of preserving what the old one meant [which is more than I could say about the new Shea, which won't be the new Shea!]. PINK FLOYD is gone because Rick is gone, Syd is gone & now we'll never see anything like that again. If you don't believe me you could ask who's left yourself. If you know anything about what it means to preserve history in something as sacred as a stadium, or something that means anything to you, you know this is not going to happen. We also know that as of late, in rock bands, preserving history is the last thing our classic boys seem to care less about now. There wasn't a tribute more devastating than Roger Waters himself. A man he'd fought with for so long, that when they'd finally gotten back together & received a British Hall of Fame award. As they were accepting it & Rick was hospitalized at the time for eye surgery, Roger had said he wasn't in surgery that they'd actually eloped. How adorable. His website was taken down & he went on to explain why Rick was important to Pink Floyd. Even him coming to the realization that Pink Floyd will never happen again, after he'd wanted it more than we did, is more painful than you could imagine.

I'm glad & sad that I got to see Yankee Stadium for the last time. Rick Wright & Pink Floyd for the last time. Both at my house. I'm also glad, since Syd & Rick never really got to see each other after Syd left that they're finally together now. Probably wondering what my uncle is doing with a big old stadium in his hand & he's telling Rick that I was there when he played & used to take me there all the time & they're all hanging out. I just hope Ricky doesn't ask my uncle why he wasn't at the show.........

xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
luv to Ricky, Yankee Stadium & my uncle David...
luv, Rozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

PINK FLOYD lyrics

EEEWWWW IS RIGHT!!! !!!!!

Did you ever see Flashdance? I might've mentioned this before. Probably the cutest girl & most talented [since we already know the star didn't even ride the bike, I relate to this to but I not even getting into this now] in the movie
Cynthia Rhodes-by the way,just to get it out of the way, did do her own dancing, [you can't make that up, especially what she did, quite a sight if anyone has any wish to stretch in any form!!] is completely freaking because her man hasn't called. All throughout the movie if anyone was paying attention to it other than looking at all the ladies asses, it was he didn't call.

'He didn't call. 'He'll call'. Should I call him?'You think he'll call?' 'Of course, why wouldn't he?' 'If he doesn't call do you think I should call him?' 'Don't worry, he'll call'. OK, so later they're working out & the bum still hasn't called. 'He'll call. Don't worry'. 'I don't know'.... No matter who you were when you saw this movie, you wanted her to call him & were actually wanting to know if he would call. So the tough lady finally says 'Just get up & call the dude' to which she also added that she was 'glad I ain't no honky'. 'Yeah, you really think so?'. So while the lead character is screwing & fighting & breaking up with her man & dancing & losing her mind & wondering why her friend is losing it by going out with the lowlife of the movie, you could care less because you're still want him to call her. In my mind [& others], I'm thinking, he's gotta call, she could dance, she's mega-cute, he's gotta be just a hunk who is just making her wait right? Of course, dammit when is he gonna call??? Finally, they're all at a party in costumes which looks like Halloweenie time. They're all there & Tina [her name]is seen dancing with this balding older guy in a suit & glasses looking like a deadbeat lawyer or something, not in costume like everyone else. After all your thoughts, after all we waited for, what are we thinking? It's her dad? No!, did he call? Who's that with her? Nah! She finally says to her friend what the world & everyone else were waiting for, points to the guy in question & has the nerve to say, with the happiest smile on her face: 'HE CALLED!'. What? ARE YOU KIDDING? NO WAY? YUK!! EEWWW ! GET REAL RIGHT??

Why am I explaining the only reason to see Flashdance? [Now that I've explained the entire movie, you probably don't have to see it, but should & if you haven't, what planet are you on?] Because of Miss Tina, first of all [who happens to be married in real life to Richard Marx...which may be questionable]second, because I appreciate this scene very much & completely understand it. Unlike some people in this world. Unlike the dumb ladies of Showbiz Tonight, who constantly, day by day, night by night say just stupid things about who or what they think is beautiful or not & are just in shock anytime something stupid happens they just 'oh are just horrified'. So what is it that got me here twice this bleech.???

I didn't even watch these Olympics [are they done yet???], sorry, I just wasn't into it. Everyone there I'm sure are amazing athletes & if they're not full of steroids, congrats to all! But Jim McKay [look him up!, dammit!] isn't covering it, gone, so forget it! Over! But Mercy! Swimmer Amanda Beard's apparent dislike of her buff teammate has gotten insane backlash of this poor lady's taste. What the hell for?? Of course, an idiot radio guy asks her a stupid question adding to his stupidity, wonders if she was dating the guy or even wanted to [when of course that's not ethical, but do they care? no!]she replied with a very simple 'Eww,No!'. So what? What is the problem? She also added after some grilling something along the lines of 'Eww Nasty'. Which I found hilarious but I still didn't care. [I think everyone is EEWW!!] People or chicks [Haha!]everywhere seem to be losing it because of this & this lady is getting ripped up everywhere, especially by these dumb broads at Showbiz Tonight who haven't a clue about what a real man is when they talk to idiots like the 'Man' author who thinks he's God's gift to women [Don't even get me started on that dork.], whenever they feel they need a 'man's opinion'. , which is a joke!! Pathetic! This is when I started to care.

OK ,so I'm on her side & I will defend her to the death! Why? Because you girls out there are ridiculous!!!! Especially you Showbiz Tonight chicks. Where in the world or in what gutter did they dig out these crazy 'panelists'? I just wanna smack them all to death. Talk about stupid. So we're not cool because we have to think like these broads [by the way I'm not Italian, I just use that word to describe brainless chicks,it works for me, like others would use 'dumb blonde'!, because these broads aren't blond, well one is, so write me if you must, I dare you, just know that I am a chick, was a broad & have been blonde & very proud!] & their word is law & they feel their words will 'make a difference'.
Their difference: She said it because she wants to be famous!? What? If she wanted to be famous she could've said something like 'He can't swim'. Hello?? That's how stupid this whole thing is. One of them actually had the unmitigated gall to say & even suggest that she was 'clueless'! ????????????????????????????????????????
[You guys out there love girl fights & wonder & why we love to tear our hair out while it happens, 1st of all, I'm not your typical chick, I love a good fight every once in a while, a guy fist fight,[girls can do this too!!] this is why I miss real baseball, but in this particular case I wanted to rip each flake of hair off this one's head when she uttered this! Why because it helps!]
Oh she's clueless, so she'll deliberately insult someone she's not interested in or remotely not attracted to if that is supposed to be the case [let's get the winner a girlfriend already!] & say they're EWW! Guess what, maybe she's NOT interested, ever thought of that? Is that a possibility??? It probably frightened her, she's probably traumatized from this & will need therapy for the rest of her life at the suggestion of even sleeping with this guy. [I would be!-sort of, not therapy though-remember therapist is a compound word!] ] By the way, if you forgot she's a hell of an athlete herself. Did we forget ??? Do we care? I guess not after this!

EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO THEIR OWN OPINION!! OR FREEDOM OF SPEECH?? Well, last I heard everyone is also entitled to their own taste. So he's maybe not her type at all, who cares? You're gonna force her to go out with him? No wait-let's put her in a reality show to get her a husband & we'll get 20 of these dorks & they'll all look exactly like this guy [like they all do now anyway-EEWW!!] & watch her & me throw up!! Guess what chickies, HE'S NOT MY TYPE EITHER!!! Are you shocked? Oh, so now I wanna be famous?? So am I clueless? That's right, he's not my type. Do you want to know what that means?? That means SHE'S RIGHT! That's a rule you know!!! [RR xoxoxoxo!]But I have some news for the boy who thought he wrote that rule: [like he really made that up!xoxoxox] sometimes [only sometimes], she's not right & in this case, all of you ladies out there who are giving this lady crap about this are WRONG!! SO BACK OFF!!

For years, I've endured almost all the ladies in my family going for younger dudes & it has sickened me. Yes I prefer a real man [must I mention them??- quit it & check my previous blecchs!]. So he's buff, he broke Mark Spitz's [who by the way looks beyond gorgeous now that he's gotten 'mature'] record [which really sucks because despite him looking like a porn star when he won all those he is still THE MAN!! & will forever be!]& he's a great athlete. But ladies, he's not the most beautiful thing on this planet. See ladies, back then Mark was Eww also, now, he's Yum!. It takes a while ladies, a long while. Ok, he's your type, cool, maybe you'll marry & divorce him & take all his Frosted Flakes money, good for you. But don't push the dork on us real ladys who like real men. I can't believe that the criteria for a real man involves a young buff, he's probably the nicest guy in the world, but come on. OK, they don't have to be fat & crusty either but there can be something pretty special in between & when you can really 'SEE' that, it can be pretty incredible. So before you ride those boy toys, think for a minute. How long can you look at that? Eventually they run out of gas & I don't mean in the engine! Because the engine can always get a boost! Yes some winning pretty boys are EWW!. Sometimes the Bronze dudes have hope to, but they're not all Gold. Sometimes you need Silver [I need air!!whoo!]. So to Miss Amanda way to go, stick to your guns & screw what all these idiots are saying about you, call me & we'll show them what a real man is.... don't disappoint me! & let's see what you'll look like in 20 years Mr. Eww!! Who knows you may finally be Yum!

zZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

ROLLING STONE IS DYING!! THANK YOU !!! [NOT THE BAND!]

OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE!! NOW I KNOW YOUR TRUE COLORS! Ever watch Odd Couple? Its the BEST SHOW EVER!!! They seem to be out on DVD, yet the ones that are left are being threatened with the songs that appeared on the show not appearing because of massive publishing fees. Well that bites!! You ought to be honored that your song was even on the damn show! So quit it & let everyone hear you! This seems to be my pet subject. Now after what has been a pretty cool half a year [already????] I've gotten the best news of my life! ROLLING STONE IS DEAD!!! Not the band. NEVER! In fact, the way things are going the band will be around way damn longer than the crapola mag will!! OH JOY!!! OH JOY!!! I CANNOT CONTAIN MY HAPPINESS!! SHALL I EXPLAIN?????????????????????????????????

ROLLING STONE. A magazine that was way way cool, years & years ago! Started I believe by naming itself after the great 'ole band. Why they let that happen I'll never know, especially after they started to suck. At the time, I'm sure it was cool for them, they had no idea that it would ever become bad. So you can't really blame them. And lately you must now never compare them anymore, since the Rolling Stone of today is CLEARLY NOT the Rolling Stone of yesterday. In fact, after RS started to bite [in the early 90s of course],the Rolling Stones should have put their foot down for them becoming as horrible as they got. That would've been a most amazing lawsuit. Can you picture that?? [Dr. Teeth anyone?] Mick: Your Honor, clearly we don't like the direction this magazine has taken & would very much not like our name to be associated with this crap anymore. Judge: Yes it is clear this magazine has nothing more to do with music so I grant in favor of the plantiffs & sentence Rolling Stone to call themselves BonJovi for their remaining years!
Talk about suck!

Now RS is deluding themselves into thinking that if they 'get smaller' [?????] that more people will buy this crap because it'll fit more with other mags in the store. Amazing. What an excuse! 'Yeah uh....I'm not like gonna buy Rolling Stone unless it gets smaller, k.....? ' Don't they realize that people still actually buy the New York Times & thats over 7 feet long?????????????????? OH, they have a circulation of over 1.5 million....[to me that's not a lot especially in this new internet age] but their newsracks sales are slipping.......awwwww, I wonder why? Because nobody wants to buy it anymore!!!! And also because there are still alot of classic rock fans very much alive who absolutely hate the owners of this magazine for abusing the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame! So who knows why!!!

Its not bad enough that RS had already shrunk to a level that make the New York Press, the Metro & AM Daily seem huge. The latest covers alone had took up more than whatever the hell was supposed to be inside. So put someone bad on the cover & no one will care what's inside. OK, they've sort of tried to save themselves as they keep trying by having a few cool covers lately [but again nothing inside] the Police, James Brown, Pink Floyd, etc..... but it's has gotten so lame they need to really shrink it so that you'll know there will be at least more than 4 lousy pages inside!!! WOW!

For years, actually since it began the R'n'RHoF has been run by the owners & the leftover so-called writers who were left after the nineties fall-out of the really great writers who don't write for them anymore. So it's the kid writers who think that music was invented in 90s & are freaked out that RS has been around for more than 20 years let alone 2. These are the people who are voting in our legends in this Hall. Ridiculous. In one of my old bleechs, I revealed my utter hatred for their system hoping that Rolling Stone would die a slow death & I believe because of some of you out there that my dream, in fact all of our dream is coming true!! So I thank you so much for making this possible, I know all you rockers came together to torture them. Even though I wish a slow death upon them I figure whoever is going to be on the cover of the teeny weeny version of the new RS will kill it before I get a chance to beg. So maybe their death will be quicker & I will jump for joy some more. It used to be that being on the cover of Rolling Stone was a dream, a hope of a band, the moment you 'made it'! Now its an embarrassment when you have to be on the cover after Fiona Apple, 50 Cent, John Mayer or Maroon 5, oh joy....ugh! THEY ONLY JUST TALKED TO RUSH THIS YEAR!!! SO who knows how popular they are as of late, we know they have been a challenge to keep going to. But now I think we've grown tired of you! Goodbye!

I'm actually going to think back at the time it was cool even as it was still being run by the idiots. Remember when Fleetwood Mac made probably the best covers ever made for them? When Stevie Nicks got her own cover? When the GO-GO's made the cover & everyone freaked out because they were in their underwear? HANES UNDERWEAR not lingerie!!! When the Police always managed to look good on every cover they were on, even the latest! When Dr. Hook finally made the cover after they wrote that great song. Now go away! Good Riddence! I'll be happy to buy your last few rotting pages & place them under my dog's crap. [oops I don't have a dog but I could use it for something...ah ha, the leaks in my roof! AHHH what a life!]

4Q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4Q! WHAT DOES IT MEAN?? Oh, come on! You cannot be that young! Well let's see,the 4th of July? [which turned out to be very cool by the way], a poker hand? [I don't think so], my ladys QRT might have a 4th member???? maybe, or could it be something quite offensive! [Jackpot!] I think Happy Bunny & I will continue to use this to describe how crazy July has been.

~~~~~~~~~~~

TICKETS!!! BASEBALL!!! RADIOS!!! This is what has been disturbing me as of late. Let's start with the radios. So if it isn't an Ipod..........what do you call it??????? So you're not cool if you don't have something with an I on it. GET REAL! Zunes are apparently sort of cool now, but the one to get is the Creative Zen!! Oh yes!! How yummy, nothing better!!! WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY BETTER!!! Than the stuffy Ipod! You don't have to have an Apple, which is annoying already, it doesn't take 10,000 years to convert everything & Hallelujah!! It records & has a little radio inside! AWWWW!!! Now that's beyond cool. SO what is the problem??????? People are still subjecting themselves to this yuky Ipod! Why do I hate it, simple, because it doesn't have a radio & it doesn't record! So who needs it? There is no point. Done!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tickets. Wow, Stub Hub, Ticket Assmaster & who else is selling, Ebay???? Wow, where is Tickettron when you need them? So it's not bad enough that you get a service charge if you can order the dumb things online [like if this were gas], plus tax & whatever other extra crap charges they decide to stick on there [$1,000 convenience bail, in place of artists getting arrested b4, during or after the show], but now we have idiots like StubHub charging how ever much they feel like it, way over face value & legally???? Do these people happen to own gas????? It's the most ridiculous, ludicrous, company in the history of entertainment. By the All-Star Game these jerks still couldn't get rid of their All-Star seats & there was a nice little empty chunk of empty seats in Yankee Stadium which was shone once & never revealed again for fear that someone would have guessed it wasn't SOLD OUT!!!


So, of course they have hold of concerts & Broadway shows as well & somehow everyone seems to be fine with this. SO when did world get rich all of a sudden? I could just see the credit card debts in the mail. 'Well, I just had to buy that 8,000 dollar left-handed upper deck seat to the All-Star Game & just took it out of my kid's tuition for it'. WOW!! IDIOTS!!![By the way, I can only use this world over & over so as not to say anything worse!]

My mind has been on baseball. I loved it for years! But then I began to hate it, especially after the strike in 1994 which we didn't have a World Series! [I started to hate it long b4 that but that did it]! I love & miss the classic players. Real players, b4 the age of steroids, not these money-grubbing scum we have now. Jerks who are just in it for the money & not to play . It's not the same it'll never be the same. Yet slowly I'm wandering back into it. Maybe because the Yankees seem to be hot again? Maybe because they're actually some good new kids playing for the sake of playing & not stupidity. Maybe because they have a new fighting manager? [kind of!] What happened to the good fights? I used to love when the managers would lose it over a silly call & go NUTS!! [yeah, so I'm violent, so what!] That went out the window with the old manager. He was too nice, now he's gone. There is some action now, but not enough. Hopefully it'll get better as will Old Timer's Day, which is the only reason to go. Yes, I'm a NYker. Yes I loved the Yankees, the real Yankees.

~~~~~~~~~~~~


Bobby Murcer passed. He was NO. 2 & will always be No. 2. NOT Jeter! I WANT JETER TO GIVE UP HIS NUMBER TO THE REAL YANKEE!! Bobby needs to be inducted into the Hall Of Fame with his Number 2!! He was actually the nicest Yankee & he played for the sake of playing. A great announcer & just a doll! Until these new Yankees learn what the history of being a Yankee is & not mess around for the bucks, none of these Yankees deserve the numbers they carry on their backs.



So here's to the real Yankees & to the new kids who actually have a chance of saving their legacy which for years has been in the toilet!!:

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF THE WIZZZZZZZZ.....

When I'm not playing drums,rehearsing, writing bleechs, working, sleeping, waking up, researching, complaining about everything, I actually have a life. Here is one day in particular that I just remember quite vividly.

Bleech,......
12:55 pm: Quite unusual. I'm at the Staten Island Ferry waiting on what seems to be an actual line for the Ferry which there never is. The dude cop is trying to 'break it up' but it seems today they want to seem nice & respect. I followed the dude rule so I'm sort of in front yet there's still a line behind me. Weird. Gonna see my friend D, maybe we could walk to the beach.

1:24 pm: I'm riding on the Ferry where it's actually a beautiful day listening to Rhinestone Cowboy on the radio. I'm not on a horse or wearing Rhinestones & I know that would be cool yet I don't know if the horse will make it across this water [for fear it'll turn green]. But it is a beautiful sight. Looking at all the boats, it's a bit chilly, lucky I always carry my scarf. I'm in awe of the boats dreaming that one day I'll be in my own boat (or somebody else's) sailing away, listening to every concievable good song about boats & sailing that exist: Come Sail Away-Styx, Sail Away-Oak Ridge Boys, Sailing-Rod Stewart, Boats Against The Current-Olivia Newton John or Eric Carmen. I don't take pics as I've been on this ride before but I finally have camera after years of avoiding all tech aspects of our new world. I brought my book wth me hoping to read it on the Ferry thinking I'd be sitting & relaxing on here since the weather has been insanely cold lately & it's freakin' May! But noooooo, it's not cold (miracle!), I'm not reading (I'm dying to finish this book, since it's wearing me out), & I'm not drinking my Vitamin Water which I also bought for the trip since I'm the first to stand outside & gaze at the NY water, which for all intents & purposes (?) is not the blue water we all know & love on a day like this, or on a normal ocean. Not even my dark glasses have shaded the water the color it seems to be now. Is it? (removes sunglasses)Green? Yep, it's green. Not even a St. Paddy's Day green, but a Grasshopper drink green (my fav shot of choice until the Mojito came out!!!!??????). I'm in hell waiting for the bus now to see my best friend wishing I was back on the boat. But you can't take a ride back & forth continuosely for a couple of hours without getting off of it each time it docks, that sort of ruins the fun & purpose. But it's still free & you don't have to pay 1 million dollars for the gas that it seems to be going for now & even though it's the same ride back & forth you're bound to see something different everytime. An almost perfect ride. But what gets me out of all of this? The other gorgeous boats? The loons surfing somewhere? The sky & clouds & amazing sun? The Circle Line which always passes by & is surprisingly still in operation because it costs about 8 grand to ride it now? (By the way, as I'm waiting forever for the bus in front of me is a giant sign [& apparently on all bus stops] that says 'Bus Stop No Standing'? How else are we supposed to wait for the damn thing?)? As my day is almost ruined by this bus fiasco & the fact that I took the wrong train down here & its a Sunday when public transportation is virtually useless [& it's Memorial Day weekend]. A bus decides to finally come a half hour later after the boat had left me there a half hour earlier! Meaning had I gotten here a half hour later I wouldn't be pissed off right now. But it's still a beautiful day & I'm still on the boat in my head, sick about the song that is playing on my radio right now, which really sucks & wondering what my hair looks like after I'd gotten it to look perfectly last night when I styled it (styled? Yeah right!) & this morning when I woke & is now probably spiked to oblivion (my usual look) from the beautiful boat wind. There are little maggots everywhere (my unfortunate name for uncontrollable little tikes running amok around the bus I'm on now) but I am not insane now as I am at peace finally hearing a decent song on my radio by the fantastic Bee Gees & I feel great. Still thinking about 'my boat'. (Now I've gone into RR mode which I'm extremely proud of!) I'm thinking of telling the little maggots or whoever owns them to cool it or I'll be forced to throw them out the window, but thankfully without my noticing they have exited. Wow peace again. Another beautiful song comes up & I'm still on the boat thinking I could play the hell outta that song on this boat.

2:26 pm: I wonder if my ladys will fit on this boat. As I'm writing this my little thingy(an old Palm Pilot, not the phone everyone thinks it is, yet I can pretend it is a phone so no one will bug me!) has run out of room for me to write about this craziness. So I start a new excerpt, my fingers hurting which is the reason my hands have turned to mush & realize I'm lost, but I'm not & no joke - I pass by a place called Drum Rd. Cool! Since I'm still on the bus ride from hell, the great Marty Robbins serenades me with El Paso, I think I know where I am. Almost to my best friend who is going to have surgery for a genetic cancerous tumor in her mouth & I try to pray for her all the time. I also think of cute Dick Martin who passed away today, the greatest comedian ever from Laugh-In. Now he's gone & no one will ever know how totally cool he was with all the crapola that's out there now & I turn on the TV & no one is speaking of him when he should've been on the minute I turned it on because he deserves at least an hour of coverage but what do they care dorks! Instead I dream of Dick singing me El Paso. Wow. Now I'm at my stop at Sand Lane.
My point before was while on the boat what struck me was the waves. Not the beautiful waves of the now green water but the waves of the people on the other Ferry almost about to 'kiss' us. Wondering why they're waving & is it generally normal for us to wave at nothing. So I wave to them because no one else is doing it. Maybe they'll like my newly spiked hair. Maybe I'll dig their earrings if I could see them from 10,000 feet away, who knows! What makes us wave? Just the feeling that someone's looking. Or paying attention. Or the fact that they just want to be noticed. Or just a feeling of respect. One waves to be sure that they're not being rude to someone who's probably never going to notice them, none the less they wave. It doesn't matter whether you know what they mean. Are they saying Hello? Goodbye? What's Up? or Yo? They wave. It doesn't matter if they don't know the person, or maybe they do. Maybe they have a friend that is at the Ferry the precise moment the other is passing. In this, the cell phone age, you never know. They wave. So I waved. It was cool. I always do. I'm outta the bus finally & at my friend's door. We hang for the day taking in the sun. Watch a few movies, eat a few sandwiches, talking about everything . Making sure she's ok with the surgery she's about to have. She's afraid because her brother passed of something similar but of course it's not the same. I tell her it'll be ok & tell her of my former hell (the bus ride as well as some older heavier stuff) & just try to get her not to think like that. We have fun, she's falling asleep.

9:47 pm: It's time for me to go back to my boat which at night is so way cooler that I can't wait to see the beautiful view & skyline that is deadly (but because of the number of people on it which is higher than most nights & because of a fight that breaks out so because of this obsurdity I don't move from my seat as I will soon find out). But this time, it'll be chillier, I'll read my book & radio(to no avail), I will drink my water (not a drop, since I'm writing this or typing it whatever you call it now!)& if I could, see if I wave hi to my 'friends' on the other side of the ocean going where I just came from (unlike the ones before I don't have or will ever get a cell phone!-but hey -not even close!) . It may be packed even though it's Sunday (unusually packed late as it is, usually being more empty on nights like this, I find out later with more loons & little maggots), as my best friend in the world walks me to the bus, (which I later find out, isn't so hellish this time but does include the loon from hell drinking & yelling at the top of his lungs because he can) this time my night boat ride becomes a bit hellish as I will soon find out but doesn't kill my mood for the day. My bus comes to take me to the hellish boat ride I'm about to encounter, I get on & think for only 1 second if I'm ever going to see my best friend again (I will at the hospital later in the week) she hugs me, I tell her its gonna be ok. I get in the bus.

I wave.

MOMMY DEAREST SONGS!

Yeah.Happy Mamma's day...& happy birthday to me! Yes, it's just my luck that Mother's day would happen to fall after my birthday so that I'd have to think about something else other than myself on my birthday. But that's cool, because since last year, as some of you may have read, my mom has made up for her indiscretions. Like thinking Roger Waters was Richard Gere, [I'm beginning to think he deserves that since he's been losing it as of late by living in NY & wanting us not to vote for the lady when he's not even an American & not only breaking on ELP but losing his pig once again, I wonder if he Beet it?? [a little inside joke..], thinking Motley Crue hired an old lady to sing for them [although she was on that!].....whatever else she's done, like torturing me watching American Idol faithfully, which is quite sickening. She has since made up for it by just a few little things.

So as I decide to take my mom out to see an amazing Latin artist named Albita once again for her special day, I realized she is walking around singing Hush. ??????? Then I realize this song happens to be in a horrid commercial that has been taking our great classic songs & just destroying them. Of course, she has no idea she's singing the oldest Deep Purple song in the world, so I don't even think to shatter her happiness & don't even have the heart to tell her that the guy who is singing that particular version has disappeared off the face of this planet & doesn't sing the song anymore & that the guy who sings it now I happened to have hung out with before my birthday last year. So she'll never listen to Deep Purple as I don't even listen to them either [except for Highway Star, the video version not the record, nothing will ever come close to that] but it was good to hear that coming out of her no matter how insignificant it was. I remember my sister taking her to see Elton John & I had no idea how she'd get thru that. Not only did she love it & she knew every song but she happened to fall in love with 'this giant cute blond thing that was playing guitar with him' . WHAT?? You mean Davey Johnstone? Serious?? WOW! Impressive! My mom occasionally despite her love of spanish, giant young men will ocassionally dig a real man every once on a while [well what I call a real man!] & Davey comes pretty close, mind you she was far away. Besides I know of no other cute blond things that play guitar with Elton. Like when she thought that this other blond cute thing was singing great in this crazy show. It turned out to be Sebastian Bach, which I straightened her out about really quick. All because he was dressed up. Clothes do not make a man. [Only sometimes]. This from the woman who's favorite Chuck Berry song of all time is only 'My Ding-A-Ling'!

So she's watching TV & as I always do I try to find her something better than what she's watching [like American Idol-ugh!]. I put VH1 Classic & wow something cool, they're playing Welcome To The Machine, so she's into it & suddenly........... 'I know that song'. No you don't! 'Yes I know it', well maybe you do, that's the WALL band! [the WALL band being Pink Floyd of course....because no matter what we all loved the Wall song 'We Don't Need No Education'....because mom thought that he said 'no dark orgasm in the classroom'!], I've heard that before, in fact I heard it this week. Hello?? What were you listening to that anyone is going to play Welcome To The Machine. Maybe she passed by the Wall movie which had been on 18, 000 times that week, she heard that 'sound'...maybe she actually put it on my radio &heard it. No she swears she heard that voice! It's Roger, not Richard Gere!!! Turns out she did it again......but this time correctly. I got it, it's in that movie! The Wall right? Nope. The Minzy movie. The WHAT?? Minzy. Turns out what she's talking about is the movie the Last Nimzy which she's been watching religiously & that just happens to have a song by Richard Gere...dammit...I mean Roger Waters....called Hello I Love You which ends the movie & sounds like Welcome To The Machine. Now in no uncertain terms in my house this is amazingly cool. 'I knew I KNEW THAT SONG'!! It's not the same song but it's that 'sound!' Now that's cool! Since Roger has gone insane lately what with losing his pig & just trashing Keith Emerson [although that wasn't his fault] & going so far as to grow a beard which was a BIG MISTAKE!! He has been redeemed in my eyes, thru my mom. As I was about to lose all my faith in the great Pink Floyd master. My mom has shown me the way! So because of my momma's love of your song & movie I shall not abandon you Roger, now all you need to do is shave the damn beard & go back to looking like Richard Gere & be quiet!

My sis decides to take my mom to the WAX Museum...ugh..& she has a ball. Loving all the famous waxos [wackos] & having a blast. She'd rather hang out with figurines that look like they have 2nd degree burns & she has a blast. So that was cool. My mom had the best Mother's Day & I had the best birthday ever!! So we both scored pretty good! Let's hope it's good, if not better next year.

Happy Mother's Day all!!! Luv, Rozzieeeeeeeeee

ROGER WATERS lyrics

MACYS-WHO GOES THERE? DOUBLE THE BLEECH!!! FOOL!

I missed last month. Was very busy & distracted in the most amazing way. Meaning I owe you a 'Double Bleech'!!! As I missed the ultimate Women's History Month, I cannot help but notice all the women who have made us look bad this year. Maybe this is why the celebration is only one month. I hope this will improve while i point out the huge mistakes these so called women have made!

1st of all the fact that Easter was last month & not after Passover or out the way it should be is just sick. This is what messing with our time change is doing! I don't even know if it's Daylight Savings time anymore because of this crap. To my dismay I didn't get my share of candy corn to drown in. [Oh well, maybe next year!] But maybe this is why these women are just not giving us what they're supposed to. Once again, I DON'T TALK POLITICS! BUT! We're on our way to possibly having the 1st Woman President ever & everybody is blowing it for her. Even maybe her. I would like to see this happen, alot don't. Because of her man? Because of her views? Or because she's a chick? What do YOU think?? There has never or will there ever be any kind of candidacy like this. it wll be a miracle if it is. But if it turns out the way it seems to be going, than it will all have been for nothing. So maybe we can get with it & give this woman a chance to show what she has & not her man or what he did & the idiots who may have ruined this for her.

Take Spritzer's little chick. Who now! Just because she gave him a good old time for a hell of alot of dough, is on her way to becoming the exact version of what that 'profession' is supposed to mean. Now everyone is after her, maybe even Spritzer wants her back [on her back....]& hopefully he will & get her out of our sight, where she belongs. But will that happen?? NOOOOOOOOOO!! THE WHORRRRRRRORERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those Spicy chicks got back together to lipsync for 2 seconds & nobody saw it or noticed so who cares & why?????
I think you may know the rest of these dumb...I don't know what to call them because they're certainly not women or ladys. The last one on the list is the only undeserving non-talent who actually got inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame. I don't care what the little dork said in his induction speech about the ones who didn't believe in her. After 25 years I'm still waiting for her to do a RECORD!!! Something decent-anything that didn't sound the same as everything she has ever done. The only thing that changed about her in her 25 year career is her hair color. Yet she's still blonde! SO THIS IS DESERVING OF AN AWARD? THAT HAS YET TO BE GIVEN TO: HEART, THE RUNAWAYS, ISIS, BIRTHA, GOLDIE & THE GINGERBREADS, SHE, THE SHAGGS, WANDA JACKSON, LINDA RONSTADT, SISTER ROSETTA THARPE, DOLLY PARTON........DO I HAVE TO GO ON?????
Ladys who actually play instruments. In her speech she actually had the gaul to say that she was a drummer, at which point I could see Sandy West & Karen Carpenter rolling in their graves [& something worse-Don Henley smiling somewhere! ugh! you bum!]. 25 years of making the same damn record with machines & maybe a few real instruments & it gets an achievement award, which is what it is supposed to be. We know by now the meaning of which has been lost on the idiot Rolling Stone voters of this particular award. A supposed rock magazine that has only 2 pages left to it & somebody is still reading this crap! So who is going to get in next year? I don't know if I even want to know. But as always, somehow somewhere, someway...there is hope..............

Now a salute, a tribute, an honorable mention to the real ladys who this year will save our history!:
1. BONNIE TYLER: Finally will return to America after 20 years to tour & show these horrendous American Idle girls how to really sing!!!
2. LITA FORD: The Queen of metal is poising to return to the road after siring 2 boys! Which is probably the most insane concept ever concocted for those who do not know the Lita of yesteryear. Yet we know she will not disappoint!
3. BLONDIE: After having the nerve to call her last tour 'the Farewell tour', that they would never play again, something that seems to be on fashion now! Debbie Harry & her boys are touring for an album they released 30 years ago. The Parallel Lines 30th Anniversary Tour. Crazy! & that's what we need. Let's hope they actually feel like playing the entire album unlike the pieces of what Heart did to Dreamboat Annie.
4. the DIXIE CHICKS: Have done a duet with Neil Diamond! What else is there to say??????????
5. SHELBY LYNNE: Her tribute to Dusty Springfield is nothing short of brilliant!
6. WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB: This amazing new TV show is finally returning after that dumb strike!


Pt. 2: MACYS WHY???

I still want Easter & I will have it. On April 20th, the day it should always be! And here's my Easter Happy Bunny! Aww, so it's not so cute. I think it is. I recently got a gift certificate to the legendary Macys, which I thought was pretty cool. I haven't used it yet. Then I realized what could I possibly want there? So i went to look. I also realized I had not been there in quite sometime. Actually perhaps not at all. So I was quite shocked to find out what I wanted to find I couldn't find, in a place I'm supposed to find everything.

Spontaneous-ism should be the most adventurous thing in the world. When you do something without thought but is quite fulfilling. I have very eclectic tastes when it comes to shopping. Something I rarely do only for music. Clothes are a whole other story. Shoes as well. I can admit & proudly I wear things till they wear out, not till their name falls off or only wear it once & throw it away, which I'll never understand. But then again I absolutely do not wear anything with anyone's name on it unless it's a band. Or get a shoe that has a heel on it the size of a toothpick. I need a little more action. So I decided with this little certificate to buy me a little dress. Simple right? Apparently for some this is hard, for me this has never been hard. EVER! Only till I went to MACYS.

Either I haven't stepped foot in there in a long time or I had an aneurysm in discovering how women's taste in clothing has changed. I swore this was my belated April Fool's joke. I was floored. Not only at how, not even hideous some of these colors & looks were, with the remedial brand name plastered all over the dress, ruining whatever look it was supposed to achieve, the effect which even made the poor mannequin sorry it was wearing the thing for dear life. Not only at how many hundreds of women were there shopping & actually admiring these strange prints. Not only how hugely filled the entire place was of all these insane looking clothes, but the fact. The mere fact!! That I don't think I understood any of these dresses at all. I never thought I would need a instructions, a manual, let alone a dictionary that explained to me how & why these dresses were 1: looked that way 2. somehow were going to make me look good & 3. how much I'd actually have to mortgage to try to take these anvils home. I did not find 'the look' I wanted, which at one time was simple: 'Simple': the one dress i saw looked like a blanket. Weird, which is always cool but 'Weird': was unexplainable in another case where it was just ugly; which made me think of a great quote from the Great Muppet Caper in which fashion designer Lady Holiday is appalled at her own creations at one point stating "too many frills we're not striving for the fan-tail pigeon look". Strange usually does the trick but 'Strange' : came in about more colors than I think i have ever seen in a dress, only one! I guess it just couldn't decide which one. Maybe my fashionista skills are in need of some slut tooling but I seriously doubt it. I think I have a great style and just not where that is 'at'.

I was quite frightened. I spent almost 3 hours in a store which has everything that is nothing. Or once was. That was disappointing. But I still have my little gift & I will use it. At one point the shoes scared me [& what's with...you call that jewelry??? what are you on???]. So yes I will go back, but not without protection for fear that one of the dresses may eat me alive.

HAPPY EASTER.........BUNNY......
XOXOXOXOX ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

LUV, LUV, LUV THE HATE.....

So V-day has come & gone already?? Amazing. What did you do on that most holy day? I have been entertaining thoughts of the utmost importance. All I have seen is utter lack of respect in the media. As if we don't know that. Then I wondered how this all started. And I thought maybe Happy Bunny here has the right thought. All in al I can honestly say this is a real bleecch.....

In my book, class works! But classy & fancy are 2 different things... there are things in this world that shouldn't be forgotten & things that I've missed. Still, things seem to be getting out of hand. As I glow in delight & point out anyone's idiocies, it is left to ponder why these inconsistencies are so constant.

It's not rock'n'roll to me. The Grammys were on. Yes I knew someone other than Kane W & Amy would get it. I was shooting for Vince Gill, especially after he let Kane have it in his acceptance of the Country Album award. It was the greatest moment of the night. Beside the fact that Herbie won Album of the Year. So why is this so shocking to everyone?? I wasn't shocked. Were you shocked? They gave the award to someone with talent. [Wow, how shocking]. The nominees were an absolute desert of crap that you could not help but beg for the water that was Herbie. If Herbie or Vince weren't there I certainly would've preferred to die of thirst, anything other than the useless sand that was left. Then the Grammy voters as of late have chosen a slightly different method to their voting system. Yet they still have managed to come through when it counts every time. As long as I can remember watching this show, I've known exactly how they work. When Michael Greene call it quits as their long time producer, I knew it would go haywire. And it did. Despite the changes it still manages to make for some amazing entertainment even though this had to be the all time worst. 50 Years of awards for EXCELLENCE!!! This used to be the case but since it's actually been about sales to a certain extent. That they've managed to forget sometimes, especially with those horrendous collaborations.

NO CLASS!!! I bet poor Frank Sinatra had to have been turning over in his grave after being forced to destroy one of his songs with Alicia Keys. When he was ALIVE they cut his acceptance speech when presented with his own Lifetime Award, now they decide to screw him again when he's dead!???????? ????????????????? THAT'S JUST WRONG! Tina Turner having to show Bouncey a thing or to was fine but shouldn't have been allowed. Even the misguided Time reuniting with the boring Rhianna [What is with that name? You are not nor will ever aspire to be a welsh witch, honey!] must've just been heartbreaking for the musicians in that band. But they'll never admit that will they? 50 YEARS! I think it would have been a blast had they decided to get ALL the Best New Artist winners from all 50 years in one room, if one could still find them. That would've taught them a thing or to. All the things they could've done.... to show just how inconsistent they've been over the years. For Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody to have lost to Chicago's [nothing against Chicago- they will always be fantastic] If You Leave Me Now. For Christopher Cross [he's cool too..] to have won Album of the Year over The Wall by Pink Floyd. NO! Giving a billion Grammys in one night to the fantastic Santana for the worst album he ever did in his life!
RUSH LOST INSTRUMENTAL TO BRUCE STRINGBEAN???? It's like the PMRC when they wanted decided to put a lyric warning label on Frank Zappa's amazing Jazz From Hell album. Smart Tipper, when the album was all INSTRUMENTALS!! Although he did get that Instrumental award! Smart.

I said before & I'll say it again. I used to watch the Grammys to watch all the ones I love win, now I watch it to see all the ones I despise lose!!! It's still a most perfect show because of this otherwise. But 50 Years!! I would've liked to have seen Neil Diamond & Barbra Streisand back for that! One more thing! You guys really have to quit the Rock Solo combo already, this isn't a Happy Meal, it's not even Supersized! It's insulting to all rock women everywhere, we will stage a serious protest if you don't get up off your butts & listen to the records that did come out for that Rock Female Category! You voters need to be plummeted into space! [Insert pow here!-my tribute to a darling writer friend....RR-see if I get any letters...I hope..]

I only have one thing to say about the contro-perversey that is the American Idle past careers[hahahaha] of current contestants. If they wish to have a second chance at sucking that is fine with me!!!
Its not bad enough that one person bought the record before, now they want to go through that again? More power to them. I can't wait for the outcome. Maybe the same person who bought the record before will buy it again, if they're still on this planet & haven't been shamed for life for buying it in the first place.

ROZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

JAN JAN JAN.........

So what's up kiddies??? We made it through another year without any problems, or did we??? SO what shall we talk about in our bleech today? I'm surprised I'm still here & still surprised anyone wants to read this but I have a few fans whom I love so this is for them. I have a few things that are gripping at my guts & the year has hardly started.... where shall we begin??? 1st of all. I need a new mascot & I have not found one. But apparently Happy Bunny has a mean puppy whom I do not like so it won't be him. But I think I could still use Happy since it was such a hit before & there's a few I haven't used yet so I think I'll stick with him.

OK !3 things. 1st of all. This has been bugging me for a bit. This writer's strike apparently going to disrupt the Grammys?? Why?? Why have we ever or still need any actors invading our music space? This has been a problem for years. Now that we've finally gotten rid of them they still want to appear. While I know these will be the worst Grammys in the history of Time, I still don't get why actors or writers need to be involved. So hopefully they'll stay away & we could have a semi-normal musical Grammy show the way it should be. So we'll see what happens. Anyway, I'm of course hoping for miss rehab chick to lose everything because I cannot believe that 'it' seems to be the only good record that came out last year by their standards. SICK!! We'll see. Bunch'a loons.

2-Apparently we have another big tour for our boys again. Now I could go on & explain why this shouldn't happen but that would be wrong but I'm going to explain actually why I think it should happen [It's going to happen anyway...so why not?] Now Def Leppard is a great band. We love them we miss them they rock, they're cool, they're actually still kinda cute [was there ever a question??] & they're BABIES!!!!! Yes, apparently they've all maybe have just about hit 40 or older but in my giant boat, yes they are still children. Kiddies who will have a multitude of big boys opening for THEM!!! Now does that make sense?? You decide! Now I believe I talked about this in my bleech last year but this time it's gone a bit too far. Mainly because their line-up last year was a bit unbelieveable, but this time it's a little more insane. The point being that they should be playing with other kids, other bad horrible bands who really suck like the Killers or Avenge Centerfold or whoever thinks they're the next big thing out there because they're NOT!! These puny bands had a chance to play with the Lepps because they would have tried to go up there & blown them away & when DF finally hit the stage & wasted them, those bands could go home & cry & wonder why they suck like they should've. BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

REO Speedwagon & Styx are going. But taking over for Journey [because Neal [dorkhead] Schon can't decide what a lead singer is to save his freakin' life...] is the Lepps & it's not a fun switcheroo thing like it was either. You know one band will open one note the other will end it & every nite it'll change cooly! NO!! Unfortunately this will not be pretty. Especially since Def Leppard's new record is actually going to be ok & REO Speedwagon's new album is really damn good & some others can't be bothered to write a new record because they are to lazy to do so [especially after their last attempt bit!...but we won't talk about that]so this little line-up just might be a tad dangerous. What is the danger?? I'm actually looking foward to this. I want to see this. NO matter what tour packages, bands, festivals, etc.... anyone puts together it is a challenge. A challenge of the most deadly, its fun for them, but for us & no one will admit this, we want to see who will survive the beating. It's like the time Yes put almost everybody & their mother who was ever in that band [with the exception of 4] on one stage. You had the Howe nuts on one side, the Rabin nuts on the other, the Wakeman loons battling one way & the Kaye loons on another....then the almighty battle of the White/Bruford maniacs & the ultra stupidity of the most ridiculously named fight of all: the Fragile/90125 bands ! ??[?? WHAT??!! I wanted to kill the idiot who came up with that one!!! ]. Jon Anderson refereeing & Chris Squire not giving a crap whatsoever, when he turned out to be the winner!! OVERALL!! How sick is that??? AAhhh the good 'ole days, no one battles like that anymore or do they???.....so we'll see what happens here, as always my bucks are on REO!!! This would not have been the case in 1984.

3- It has come to my attention that the new fangled bad lame-o gig has arisen. The bad gig of yesteryear was the Casino. This is not the case anymore. In the olden days [??] if you played a casino you were either a has-been, washed-up & no one ever would ever hear from you again. Las Vegas & Atlantic City weren't cool places to hang, they were places to gamble, dangerous places one would not step foot in if you had any sense. Now they're actually very cool places to hang & see a show & gamble & do all kinds of stuff. Like vacation................????????? Weird. Anyway. AC & Vegas are cool places now & if you're a band there's not a bad stigma anymore if you suddenly play those places anymore. [Also-since there's a whole lotta moolah around there, they could actually afford to play the ridiculous concert prices that exist now.] Now the new ultimate 'you suck & nobody cares about you anymore' gig is da da da da.... the dreaded ICE SHOW!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

yes, the Ice show. Skaters dancing, oh no-rather skating to your music while your band or excuse me-while you lipsync to your songs on the side of the stage....in other words, there's no way in hell that the audience is there to see you, but to see the Skaters. Yes, they are talented sportspersons & what not. But wow, when did this get so bad??? While most concerts all over the world are played in skating rinks or arenas, the separation has always been constant, until now. Case in point: A bunch of skaters, famous ones have been putting on shows for, I don't know charity [I hope], glory, to compete in the Olympics, to practice?? Filming these & showing them on TV which is fine, but they have their hours.... a whole hour dedicated to the music of Seal!! ?? No they're not skating to his records which would make more sense. But Seal was actually there singing to his songs while these skaters were there 'dancing'. I didn't see a band, but it was heartbreaking. Seal was kind of cool once. Now?? A Sk8 r boy?? EEEEEEEWWWWWWWWW... I cannot believe I just wrote this on my bleech BLEEECCCHHHH!!!!
This has to be stopped. This cannot go on. We have to save Seal & any others from participating in this gut-renching activity. It just doesn't rock! The only time this worked out was in the movie Flashdance, when the skater girl [RIP-yes she passed on..] in the movie did her dance to Gloria by Laura Branigan even though she kept falling on her ass & Miss Branigan was not there [RIP! same here] it was a brilliant scene of music & skating. Its not the greatest movie ever but it will always be one of my favorite movie scenes of all time. It was filmed beautifully. Yet this is not the movies, this is real life!! STOP IT OR YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!!
NO MORE BAD ICE SHOWS!!! ROCKERS STAY AWAY FROM THE ICE SHOW OR YOU WILL KNOW YOUR FATE & BELIEVE ME SO WILL WE!!!!!!!!
